He wasn't sent over there to box though, unlike his son. Whilst Eubank Sr was over here he was a shoplifting, drug & alcohol addict and his father sent him over to live with his mother.
Crazy to think that is what he's come from when you look at him now.

People always answer "A fat ****sexual Jamaican" to this question, which basically translates as "I've never heard of Jimmy Wilde, Ted 'Kid' Lewis or Randolph Turpin."
Though the correct answer is, of course, Danny Williams.

What McCracken and his team have done is amazing and because of our Olympic success, boxing has received a big increase in funding. Future is looking bright.

Originally posted by Jcsuper View Postoh I have no problem at all with UK people being proud of Lewis, or Jamaican, Im totally fine with that. It's just that sometimes I find it unfair that people forget Lewis started and learned boxing in Canada and went to the Olympics for this country. So I don't think somebody could use Lewis as an argument on how good UK is to develop great boxers.
